"La razón por la cual los hombres entran en sociedad es la preservación de su propiedad"
— John Locke

Simplified Meaning:
People come together to form communities and societies to protect what they own. For example, think of a group of farmers who each own a piece of land where they grow food. If they stay alone, someone might steal their crops or damage their fields. But if they work together and create rules, they can defend their land and goods better. By living in a society, they agree to help each other and make sure everyone's property is safe. This way, everyone benefits from the security and support that comes from being part of a group.
